1.Application of PCT,PA and WBC detections in children infection diseases
International Journal of Laboratory Medicine 2015;(1):35-36
Objective To investigate the clinical application of procalcitonin (PCT),pre-albumin (PA)and white blood cell (WBC)detections in children infectious diseases.Methods 116 children inpatients of infectious diseases in our hospital were select-ed for conducting the study and divided into the non-bacterial infection group (56 cases)and the bacterial infection group (60 cases) according to the different pathogenic microorganisms.Other 64 children with healthy physical examination in the outpatient depart-ment were taken as the control group.The blood PCT,PA levels and WBC count were detected in 3 groups,and which before and after treatment in the bacterial infection group were detected.The differences in PCT,PA levels and WBC count were compared a-mong the groups.Results The blood PCT level and WBC count in the bacterial infection group and the non-bacterial infection group were all higher than that in the control group,while the PA level in the bacterial infection group was lower than that in the non-bacterial infection group and the control group,the differences had statistical significance (P <0.05);the PCT level and WBC count after treatment in the bacterial infection groups were lower than those before treatment,while the PA level after treatment was higher than that before treatment with statistical difference (P <0.05).Conclusion The detection of PCT,PA and WBC count can be used as the indexes for diagnosing infectious diseases in children,and provides reference for the judgment of prognosis.

From January 2014 to June 2018, 28 patients with different types of deep soft tissue injury or infection were admitted to the Affiliated Jiangyin Hospital of Medical College of Southeast University; 5 patients were admitted to the Zhengzhou First People′s Hospital. There were 24 males and 9 females, aged 18-89 (40±20) years. Disposable suction tubes with holes cut on side walls were used as self-made drainage tubes. The authors placed the self-made drainage tubes on different deep soft tissue layers and wound surfaces after debridement. The effective drainage sections of the wound surface drainage tubes were wrapped with silver ion antimicrobial functional active dressings. Bio-permeable membrane was used to close the operative area. The drainage tubes in the deep layer of wound and wound surface were connected in parallel by a tee and connected to wall-hanging medical negative-pressure suction device to conduct negative-pressure wound treatment at -20.0 to -10.6 kPa. The deep drainage tubes were usually removed or changed 4 or 5 days after surgery.The drainage tubes in the wound surface were synchronously replaced when removing or replacing he drainage tubes in the deep layer of wound. On 4 to 15 days after surgery, the deep drainage tubes were removed. On 8 to 25 days after surgery, the wound surface drainage tubes were removed. Then the treatment was changed to a conventional dressing change until the wounds were completely healed or the wound bed was ready for skin grafts or tissue flaps. The indwelling time of deep drainage tubes in this group of patients was (6.2±2.8) days, and the indwelling time of wound surface drainage tubes was (12.0±3.0) days. The wound healing time was (22±5) days, the hospital stay time was (29±7) days, and wound bacteria were reduced from 6 species and 11 strains before treatment to 3 species and 4 strains after treatment. No adverse events such as wound bleeding, irritative pain, and chronic sinus occurred during treatment. Twenty-three patients were followed up for 13 to 28 months, no treatment-related complications were observed.
